6. Temporarily install the wings onto the fuselage making sure they are fully seated onto the fuselage. Tighten
the center wing bolt to make sure the wings are tight and square to the fuselage. The center bolt is inserted
through the left wing hatch and passes through the root rib, fuselage, and into the blind nut in the right wing.
7. Install and center the stabilizer making sure it is square to the fuselage and centered from side to side. Use a
T-square on the side of the fuselage to align the trailing edge of the stab or you can measure from the wing
tips to the corners of the stab to assure proper alignment. This distance should be equal on both sides. The
covering in the center of the stab has already been removed by the factory. Double check that no covering
extends into the glue joint.
Mark the fuselage outline around the stab covering using a pen or pencil if and then
remove any excess if needed. If required, use a sharp x-acto blade and be extremely careful not to cut any of the
wood or you will weaken the stabilizer and cause possible failure.
8. Now reinstall the stabilizer and assure it is properly aligned, parallel to the wing, and centered in the
fuselage. Hold in place using tape and/or pins. When satisfied glue in place by wicking thin CA around the
joint. If desired, you can add a small filet of glue at the fuselage/stabilizer joint using thick CA or your
favorite adhesive.
9. Once the glue has cured on the stabilizer you can remove the wings. Test fit the elevators using the supplied
flat nylon hinges (3 per side) to check the fit. Follow the same hinging instructions as with the rudder.
When satisfied, glue the hinges in using epoxy. Make sure the hinges rotate freely 90 degrees from the
